Sarong Saturdays

Ten Thousand Villages at the Lehigh Valley Mall invites you to take an excursion to the south seas on Sarong Saturdays! Join us on June 21st and 28th, July 12th, 19th, and 26th, and August 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th for tropical fun!

Our employees will be modeling hand-batiked sarongs from Indonesia - beautifully draping fabric pieces which can be worn as skirts, dresses, shawls, and more. Enjoy world music and light fair trade refreshments as they teach you how to liven up your wardrobe with sarongs. Sarongs also make great decor, serving as tablecloths, window treatments, and other home accents. Feel the tropical breeze and spend Sarong Saturdays with us!

Ten Thousand Villages is an exceptional source for unique handmade gifts, jewelry, home decor, art and sculpture, textiles, serveware, and personal accessories representing the diverse cultures of artisans in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. As a fair trade retailer, product sales help pay for food, education, health care, and housing for artisans who might otherwise live on less than $2 a day.
